“Fall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Mental Illness,” is shocking and emotional autobiography of Mary Forsberg Weiland written in collaboration with Larkin Warren and published by Harper Collins.
Mary Weiland writes about how she met Scot Weiland as he drove Mary to her modeling appointments. Scot Weiland was a singer and lyricist for Stone Temple Pilots and was a very talented person. Popular belief has it that Mary Weiland was a sensible and stable person and it was Scot who led Mary to become a mentally disturbed, cocaine and heroin addict. In her memoir she uncovers that the reality lies somewhere between two extremes. She had had bouts of depression before their marriage and most of the years of their marriage were filled with cocaine and heroin addiction and rehab cycles. As the couple went on to have babies, they thought that they had bid farewell to the drugs, but it was far from being true. Mary Weilanad discloses that once the couple was invited to a party by Leonrado Di Caprio, they had to wear full sleeved dress to hide the scars left by the pricks of syringes they had used to inject heroin.
But the event that really crystallized the separation was when Mary Weilland lighted Scot’s whole wardrobe. Police reached the spot and Mary was apprehended. The damage was estimated at $10,000 but Mary reveals that in fact the damage had been much more than was estimated.
She was admitted to psychiatric hospital and was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. She discusses in detail about the misunderstood disease and what it means to live with condition.
